The late Congressman Elijah Cummings will be honored this week in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. before being laid to rest on Friday, October 25.
Campaign ActionHe was a giant, a champion, and a voice of moral clarity from his earliest days.
Cummings believed in the power of government to improve people’s lives and dedicated his life to fighting for the rights and dignity of the marginalized and often forgotten.
His powerful presence, his thoughtful oratory, his strongly held convictions, his intrinsic sense of decency … all will be sadly missed. May we all be driven to live lives of such purpose and clarity.
Our hearts are with his wife, Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, his children and grandchildren, his staff, and everyone blessed to be part of his world. May they know peace in the coming days.
Rest in power, Brother Elijah. Thank you.
